Mauryan Empire – Socio-Economic, Political and Religious Conditions SmartPrep.in Mauryan Empire – Socio-Economic, Political and Religious Conditions Before having a discussion on Mauryan Empire, let us look at the brief political history of Magadha during the two centuries preceding Mauryan rule. Magadha, one of the sixteen Mahajanapadas, has drawn the attention of many historians. This is so because it had become the nucleus of the political power of the well-known Mauryan dynasty. The Magadhan Kingdom began to grow during the sixth century B.C. itself. However, this process accelerated considerably under the Nandas and the Mauryas. The location of the Asokan inscriptions indicates that a major part of the Indian sub-continent, excluding the eastern and southern extremities, had come under Magadhan suzerainty. 7.1 LOCATION OF MAGADHA The Mahajanapadas were located over a major part of the Ganga Valley with a few to the north-west and south-west of it. However, of the four most powerful kingdoms, three – Kosala, the Vajji Confederacy and Magadha - lay in the middle Ganga Valley and the fourth, Avanti was in Western Malwa. 'The kingdoms that surrounded Magadha were Anga in the east, the Vajji Confederacy to the north, to its immediate west the kingdom of Kasi and further west, the kingdom of Kosala. Magadha can be identified with the modern districts of Patna, Gaya, Nalanda and parts of Shahbad in the present day State of Bihar. Geographically, Magadha's location is such that it has in its vicinity large tracts of alluvial soil. Interestingly, the earliest capital of Magadha, Rajagriha was situated to the south of the river and not near it. This is most plausibly explained from the point of view of its strategic location and, secondly, dueSmartPrep.in to the fact that it lay in the vicinity of iron-encrusted outcrops. It has also been suggested that its accessibility to copper as well as the forests of the present-day southern Bihar region can effectively explain why early Magadhan kings did not choose to have their capital in the most fertile plains of the Ganges Valley but in a comparatively isolated region. The capital of Magadha did however, shift to Pataliputra (originally Pataligramma) situated on the confluence of several rivers like the Ganga, Gandak, Son and Pun Pun. Mauryan Empire Page 1 SmartPrep.in SmartPrep.in Pataliputra became the capital of Magadha under the Mauryas. This enabled Magadha to effectively command the uttarapatha (northern route) which lay to the north of the river Ganges, along the foothills of the Himalayas. The river also came to be used as one of the main arteries connecting Magadha with different regions and making heavy transport along the river possible. Thus Magadha had certain natural advantages over other contemporaneous kingdoms, though some of which like Avanti to its south-west. Kosala to its north-west and the Vajji Confederacy to its north were equally powerful at the turn of the sixth century B.C. Recent researches have suggested that accessibility to the iron mining areas in particular enabled kingdoms like Magadha and Avanti to not only produce good weapons of warfare but also in other ways. It facilitated expansion of agrarian economy and thereby the generation of substantial surplus, extracted by the State in the form of taxes. This in turn enabled them to expand and develop their territorial base. Avanti, it must be noted, became a serious competitor of Magadha for quite some time and was also located not far from the iron mines in eastern Madhya Pradesh. 7.2 POLITICAL HISTORY OF PRE-MAURYAN MAGADHA Under Bimbisara who was a contemporary of the Buddha and who, like the Buddha, lived in the 6th - 5th century B.C. Magadha emerged as a controller of the middle Ganga plains. Bimbisara is considered to be the first important ruler of Magadha. With political foresight he realised the importance of establishing dynastic relations through marriage with the royal house of Kosala. Through this alliance he acquired a part of the district of Kasi as dowry. He had cordial relations with the king of Gandhara. These diplomatic relations can be considered as a sign of the strength of Magadha. To the east of Magadha lay the Kingdom of Anga whose capital Champa ruled over 80,000 villages. Tradition tells us that Bimbisara was imprisonedSmartPrep.in by his son Ajatasatru who is said to have starved him to death. This is reported to have taken place around 492 B.C. Internal troubles and the succession of Ajatasatru to the throne of Magadha did not change its fortune. In terms of expansionist policies the new Magadhan king followed a decisively more aggressive policy. He gained complete control over Kasi and broke the earlier amicable relations by attacking his maternal uncle Prasenajita, the king of Kosala. The Vajji Confederation of people who’s Mahajanapada lay to the north of Mauryan Empire Page 2 SmartPrep.in SmartPrep.in the Ganga was Ajatasatru's next target of attack. This war was a lengthy one and tradition tells us that after a long period of sixteen years he was able to defeat the Vajjis only through deceit by sowing the seeds of dissension amongst them. His invasion of the kingdom of Avanti, the strongest rival of Magadha at that time did not materialise though preparations are said to have been made for it. However, during his reign Kasi and Vaisali, the capital of Vajji Mahajanapada, had been added to Magadha, making it the most powerful territorial power in the Ganga Valley. Ajatasatru is said to have ruled from 492 B.C. to 460 B.C. He was succeeded by Udayin (460-444 B.C.). During Udayin's reign the Magadhan kingdom extended in the north to the Himalayan ranges and in the south to the Chhota Nagpur hills. He is said to have built a fort on the confluence of the Ganga and the son. Despite the vastness of Magadha's territories, Udayin and the four kings who succeeded him were unable to effectively rule and the last of these is said to have been overthrown by the people of Magadha. Shishunaga, a viceroy at Banaras, was placed on the throne in 413 B.C. The rule of the Shishunaga dynasty too was of short duration and gave way to the rule of the Nanda dynasty headed by the usurper Mahapadma Nanda. It was during the rule of the Nandas in Magadha and the Ganga Plains as a whole that the invasion of Alexander took place in north-west India in 326 B.C., often considered the beginning of the historic period in India. The Nandas are therefore, often described as the first empire- builders of India. It must however be underlined that they did inherit a large kingdom of Magadha which they then extended to more distant frontiers. In the later Purana writings Mahapadma Nanda is described as the exterminator of all Kshatriyas. It is further suggested that he overthrew all the contemporarySmartPrep.in ruling houses. The Greek classical writings describe the might of the Nanda Empire when they tell us about their vast army which is said to have consisted of 20,000 cavalry, 200,000 infantry, 2000 chariots and 3000 elephants. We also have some indications that the Nandas had contact with the Deccan and South India. Their control of some parts of Kalinga (modern Orissa) is indicated in the Hathigumpha inscription of king Kharavela, who ruled in Orissa from the middle of the first century B.C. Some very late inscriptions from the south Karnataka region also suggest that parts of the Deccan may have been included in the Magadhan Empire under the Nandas. Most historians suggest that Mauryan Empire Page 3 SmartPrep.in SmartPrep.in by the end of the reign of Mahapadma Nanda the first phase of the expansion and consolidation of the Kingdom of Magadha had taken place. That the north-west was still under various small chiefdoms is attested by the Greek writings describing Alexander's invasion of the Punjab around this time. It is clear, however, that there was no encounter between the Kingdom of Magadha and the Greek conqueror. The Nanda rule came to an end by 321 B.C. Nine Nanda kings-are said to have ruled and by the end of their rule they are said to have become very unpopular. Chandragupta Maurya took advantage of this situation to ascend the throne of Magadha. Despite all these dynastic changes, Magadha continued to remain the foremost kingdom in the Ganga Valley. Deeper reasons for the success of Magadha lay in its advantageous geographical location, its access to the iron mines and the control it had come to exercise over important land and river trade routes. 7.3 ORIGIN OF MAURYAN RULE It has been suggested by D.D. Kosambi that the most immediate and unexpected byproduct of Alexander's invasion of the north-west was that "it hastened the Mauryan conquest of the whole country." He has argued thus because since the tribes of Punjab had already been weakened, it was not difficult for the Magadhan army under Chandragupta to conquer the whole of Punjab. Most of the Gangetic Valley was already under the control of Magadha. According to Classical sources, Chandragupta is supposed to have even met Alexander and advised him to attack Magadha which was under the unpopular rule of the Nandas. Though this is difficult to verify, both Indian and Classical sources suggest that Alexander's retreat resulted in the creation of a vacuum, and, therefore, it was not difficult for Chandragupta to subdue the Greek garrisons left there. However, what is not clear is whether he did this after his accession to theSmartPrep.in throne of Magadha or before it.

  • The Emergence of the Mahajanapadas
    The Emergence of the Mahajanapadas Sanjay Sharma Introduction In the post-Vedic period, the centre of activity shifted from the upper Ganga valley or madhyadesha to middle and lower Ganga valleys known in the contemporary Buddhist texts as majjhimadesha. Painted grey ware pottery gave way to a richer and shinier northern black polished ware which signified new trends in commercial activities and rising levels of prosperity. Imprtant features of the period between c. 600 and 321 BC include, inter-alia, rise of ‘heterodox belief systems’ resulting in an intellectual revolution, expansion of trade and commerce leading to the emergence of urban life mainly in the region of Ganga valley and evolution of vast territorial states called the mahajanapadas from the smaller ones of the later Vedic period which, as we have seen, were known as the janapadas. Increased surplus production resulted in the expansion of trading activities on one hand and an increase in the amount of taxes for the ruler on the other. The latter helped in the evolution of large territorial states and increased commercial activity facilitated the growth of cities and towns along with the evolution of money economy. The ruling and the priestly elites cornered most of the agricultural surplus produced by the vaishyas and the shudras (as labourers). The varna system became more consolidated and perpetual. It was in this background that the two great belief systems, Jainism and Buddhism, emerged. They posed serious challenge to the Brahmanical socio-religious philosophy. These belief systems had a primary aim to liberate the lower classes from the fetters of orthodox Brahmanism.

  • BYJU's IAS Comprehensive News Analysis
    Post-Mauryan Age - Crafts, Trade & Towns [Ancient History Notes] After the fall of the Mauryan Empire, many other smaller states emerged in India, some of which are the Sungas, the Kanvas, the Satavahanas, etc. It is an important period in the ancient history of India and in hence, important for the UPSC exam. In this article, you can read all about the crafts, trade and towns in Post-Mauryan India. Post-Mauryan Age - Crafts The age of the Shakas, the Kushanas, the Satavahanas (200 BCE - 200 CE) and the first Tamil states was the most flourishing period in the history of crafts and commerce in ancient India. • The Digha-Nikaya, which belongs to the pre-Mauryan times, mentions nearly two dozen occupations but the Mahavastu, which belongs to this period, catalogues 36 different kinds of workers living in the town of Rajgir. • The Milinda Panho (the questions of Milinda) mentions about 75 occupations, out of which 60 are connected with various kinds of crafts. • Craftsmen are mostly associated with towns in literary texts, but some excavations show that they also inhabited villages. • The field of mining and metallurgy made great advancements and specializations, as many as eight crafts were associated with the working of gold, silver, lead, tin, copper, brass, iron, precious stones and jewels. o The technological advancement in iron manufacturing is evident by the excavations of specialized iron artifacts from the Karimnagar and Nalgonda districts of the Telangana region. o Indian iron and steel including cutlery were exported to Abyssinian ports and enjoyed great prestige in western Asia.

  • ART XVI.—On the Identity of Xandrames and Krananda
    447 ART XVI.—On the Identity of Xandrames and Krananda. By EDWARD THOMAS, ESQ. AT the meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society, on the 21st Nov., 1864,1 undertook the task of establishing the identity of the Xandrames of Diodorus Siculus and Quintus Curtius, the undesignated king of the Gangetic provinces of other Classic Authors—with the potentate whose name appears on a very extensive series of local mintages under the bilingual Bactrian and Indo-Pali form of Krananda. With the very open array of optional readings of the name afforded by the Greek, Latin, Arabic, or Persian tran- scriptions, I need scarcely enter upon any vindication for con- centrating the whole cifcle of misnomers in the doubly autho- ritative version the coins have perpetuated: my endeavours will be confined to sustaining the reasonable probability of the contemporaneous existence of Alexander the Great and the Indian Krananda; to exemplifying the singularly appro- priate geographical currency and abundance of the coins themselves; and lastly to recapitulating the curious evidences bearing upon Krananda's individuality, supplied by indi- genous annals, and their strange coincidence with the legends preserved by the conterminous Persian epic and prose writers, occasionally reproduced by Arab translators, who, however, eventually sought more accurate knowledge from purely Indian sources. In the course of this inquiry, I shall be in a position to show, that Krananda was the prominent representative of the regnant fraternity of the " nine Nandas," and his coins, in their symbolic devices, will demonstrate for us, what no written history, home or foreign, has as yet explicitly de- clared, that the Nandas were Buddhists.

  • Indian Hieroglyphs
    Indian hieroglyphs Indus script corpora, archaeo-metallurgy and Meluhha (Mleccha) Jules Bloch’s work on formation of the Marathi language (Bloch, Jules. 2008, Formation of the Marathi Language. (Reprint, Translation from French), New Delhi, Motilal Banarsidass. ISBN: 978-8120823228) has to be expanded further to provide for a study of evolution and formation of Indian languages in the Indian language union (sprachbund). The paper analyses the stages in the evolution of early writing systems which began with the evolution of counting in the ancient Near East. Providing an example from the Indian Hieroglyphs used in Indus Script as a writing system, a stage anterior to the stage of syllabic representation of sounds of a language, is identified. Unique geometric shapes required for tokens to categorize objects became too large to handle to abstract hundreds of categories of goods and metallurgical processes during the production of bronze-age goods. In such a situation, it became necessary to use glyphs which could distinctly identify, orthographically, specific descriptions of or cataloging of ores, alloys, and metallurgical processes. About 3500 BCE, Indus script as a writing system was developed to use hieroglyphs to represent the ‘spoken words’ identifying each of the goods and processes. A rebus method of representing similar sounding words of the lingua franca of the artisans was used in Indus script. This method is recognized and consistently applied for the lingua franca of the Indian sprachbund. That the ancient languages of India, constituted a sprachbund (or language union) is now recognized by many linguists. The sprachbund area is proximate to the area where most of the Indus script inscriptions were discovered, as documented in the corpora.

Sources Political and cultural history of the period from C 600 to 300 BCE is known for the first time by a possibility of comparing evidence from different kinds of literary sources. Buddhist and Jaina texts form an authentic source of the political history of ancient India. The first four books of Sutta pitaka -- the Digha, Majjhima, Samyutta and Anguttara nikayas -- and the entire Vinaya pitaka were composed between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE. The Sutta nipata also belongs to this period. The Jaina texts Bhagavati sutra and Parisisthaparvan represent the tradition that can be used as historical source material for this period. The Puranas also provide useful information on dynastic history. A comparison of Buddhist, Puranic and Jaina texts on the details of dynastic history reveals more disagreement. This may be due to the fact that they were compiled at different times. Apart from indigenous literary sources, there are number of Greek and Latin narratives of Alexander’s military achievements. They describe the political situation prevailing in northwest on the eve of Alexander’s invasion.
